My wife and I observed 12 California Condors in Zion National Park in September. Since there are to the best of our knowledge only about 130 of these birds in the wild we saw a goodly precentage of the total that day. Here are three pictures of them. As you can see, they are all numbered. They also have radio transmitters.

These are some pretty good shots there Photo Dad!!!

I found about 12 at the grand canyon(AZ side) a few years ago. Don't quote me, but last I checked we had about 150 +, but only half that at best flying free.

BTW... A few were reintroduced at BIG SUR recently ;)
